SAK question

[King Grinch]

I have heard of Vnox and Wenger but what about these.

How is the quality compared to the other two?

Victorinox and Wenger are the only two actual, official Swiss Army Knives. Each supplies half the knives for the Swiss military. Of course each also makes an array of knives for the international civilian market as well, and they both market non-knife products under their names, although I doubt they manufacture any of them.

The website you referred to is a seller of Victorinox knives and merchandise, not a different manufacturer.

Hello King Grinch,
www.swissarmy.com is the website for Victorinox.

Wenger's is www.wengerna.com

Both Victorinox and Wenger supply knives for the Swiss Army. Despite what many people think, the official issue knives do not have the famous red plastic scales. They are aluminum handled knives:
Victorinox Soldier

Wenger Standard Issue

They are both built in the same way, except that the Wenger model has a shackle ring.
The civilian models produced by Victorinox and Wenger are different and there is an ongoing thread which compares the two.
